I just tried testing my Samsung SSDs using the Magician's built-in test, and got wildly fluctuating results on sequential tests for a completely idle machine: from 90000 Random Read IOPS to 135000 Random Read IOPS (same kind of fluctuatiuon in other numbers as well).

Comparisons between Windows Standart AHCI Driver and Intel-specific AHCI Driver show no improvement at all on either SATA 850 EVO or 850 EVO M.2, i.e. both fluctuate back and forth with no changes on average.

I'd guess your "Much, much faster now" is just another of those fluctuatuions.

Hi all, I went to the support site for my new tablet and the only driver available for download is the "USB" driver. Usually manufacturers list all the drivers for download (Chipset, Network, Graphics, etc). Does this mean that the other drivers are...
